I'm against same sex marriage. I've been married for 11 years, and the sex
has always been the SAME. Asked my wife about 3 somes(which was followed by 3 months of heavy masturbation, and no, I did not go blind)
Now I'm just happy to get the same old, but yes, I'm against it. :cry:

:evil: I think there should be a law against it.

:? ...what? huh?...oh.....ops: :P

Marriage is a Religious Institution. Because of the Seperation Clause, widely hailed but nonexistant, in our Constitution, the State has no right to approve or disapprove of any type of marriage.

My response may not rest well with some of you, but as a survivor of violent sexual abuse suffered at the hands of my father, with my mother serving as his accomplice, I think that society's concerns are grossly misplaced.

As states (includung Texas) used theit State Constitutions to ban same sex marraiges, and, in some states, "Civil Unions", I never heard any mention of banning pedophiles from getting married.

I grew up believing that homosexuality was wrong, although, my father's violent proclivities were somehow allowed. After I entered the health care profession, I found myself working with several gay and lesbian nurses, and other health care providers. They were some of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever known. They fought for their patients. They served with humility and honor.

Seems strange to me; the law allows a man and woman who do not love each other to remain married, but forbids two people of the same sex who do love each other from be married.

Of course, I do have to stop and remember that in our society, a bare butt or a woman's exposed breast is obscene, but a child suffering from abuse, or an elderly person having to choose between buying Rx. meds or groceries is not.

Go Figure!!

You do make an excellent point here, Rosty!!

If we want to punish gay people, then why should we allow them to escape Community Property laws, child support, alimony, and the marraige tax penalty??

Great post. I think we should be very careful not to confuse child abuse with homosexuality or pedophilia as some might.
This question of same sex marriage has brewed in other forums since the topic came up way back when. I have always asked the "its wrong" crowd the same two questions , that they have never been able answer.

1. Why do you care if two consenting adults who love each other get married?
2. Will it impact your life and marriage if they do?"

Its always a basket of the same old responses.

"because the bible says its wrong" (no it doesnt)
"because if we allow gays to marry than people will want to marry children or mules" (Well as I know it, you cant marry a child in this country, and unless the mule can sign the marriage license, thats probably not going to happen either)

Seems to me that the supposed moral people of the world are very focused on what two people do in the bedroom more than the character of the two people. I'm just wondering, if these folks are so absorbed with the supposed abhorant behavior of gay people, it makes you wonder who actually needs the counseling.
